Hazrat Sharfuddin Shah Willayat

The Live Miracle

A famous live-miracle is still a witness of the spiritual status of Hazrat Sharfuddin Shah Willayat in the form of a change of nature of an insect on his shrine.

Everybody knows that stinging is the nature of a scorpion. But in the premises of the shrine of Hazrat Shah Willayat, no scorpion stings, no matter if it was used to sting before. 

The Tradition

This change of nature is attributed to the lofty spiritual status and piety of Shah Willayat. A tradition says that when Shah Willayat arrived in the locality of Amroha, the sufi of the nearby area, Hazrat Khwaja Geso Daraaz Rehmatullah Aleh sent him a kooza (cup) full of water, hinting the satiation of this place in spirituality due to his presence. Hazrat Shah Willayat smiled and put a rose on the water of that kooza and returned it back. In this metaphorical communication, it was meant to suggest his status as a rose in the so-called 'spiritually saturated' Amroha. 

In response, the learned sufi Geso Daraaz exclaimed that on your shrine there will be scorpions. Shah Willayat replied 'yes, but they won't sting'. And on your shrine there will be donkeys.' Which Geso Daraaz replied saying 'yes, but they won't desecrate the place by their refuse'.
